(A serious mistake was discovered. During the last round-the-world voyage, the representative of the Ming Dynasty was Lan Haitao, the general of the auxiliary state. As a result, when exploring Liuli Island, this guy appeared again...
Sin, sin, there are too many people. Just remember that he is the representative of the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, the Liuli Island session is over~(amp;amp;gt;_amp;amp;lt;)~)
The aircraft carrier formation sailed across the sea in a mighty manner, and in a blink of an eye it was the next morning.
Far away, someone exclaimed.
On the sea ahead, an intermittent black line appeared, suspended in mid-air, standing majestic and motionless under the rising sun.
There is also a row of erected pillars on the sea surface, which are connected together and extend out of sight. Some of the pillars reach straight into the sky, and the top of the pillars are connected with the morning glow, seeming to hold up half of the sky.
"It's the mainland bridge!" Someone has already exclaimed.
It has been almost five months since the official groundbreaking of the Land Bridge. Dayang Group mobilized a large number of Nascent Soul Stage, a large number of Transformation Stage people, a few Dharma masters to help, and Dayang Group’s technology, etc., in just five months
In a matter of seconds, a miracle was created.
The aircraft carrier formation slowly approached the front. Hu Xiao and Yun Xiang grabbed the railing and looked at the scene ahead with great excitement.
The pillars in front are distributed in an orderly manner, with a section vacant at regular intervals; at both ends of the vacant section, there are two large pillars reaching into the sky, separated by a long distance.
In the northern part, a considerable amount of bridge deck construction has been completed. As we get closer, everyone gradually sees more details.
Those densely packed bridge pillars are about 70 to 80 meters apart and about 30 meters high, floating above the sea.
The few pillars that stick straight into the sky form a triangle and are inserted into the sea. They are more than twice as wide as the road surface; the height is estimated to be more than 300 meters.
A huge arched support is pulled up through stay cables. Below the arched support is the bridge deck. Through such double-layer reinforcement, it can withstand strong winds and waves in the sea, harsh weather, and even monsters.
Such arched piers are not uniform. The small ones are more than 300 meters long, and the large ones are more than 500 meters long. But they are evenly distributed.
The height of the bridge deck can reach 40 meters.
But even so, there is a bridge deck designed to be pulled up.
The aircraft carrier formation passed through the bridge deck below. Countless people looked up at the 150-meter-wide bridge deck and the cable-stayed bridge piers on both sides that were more than 300 meters wide and more than 300 meters high. This was only the part above the sea.
There are huge engineering ships busy in the distance. These engineering ships on the sea are boxy in design, but their displacement is surprisingly large.
Hu Xiao looked at one of the engineering ships. This engineering ship was rectangular in shape, with a side length of approximately 400x300 meters. The entire top was a small town.
In fact, Hu Xiao couldn't see it. On the seabed, there was a huge barrier propped up by masters of spiritual transformation. In the barrier, construction machinery was rumblingly driving piles. Each of them was more than 300 meters long and had been treated with anti-rust steel.
The pillars were driven into the ground.
Different from the bridge pier foundations on the ground, 15 pillars need to be laid here to support a bridge pier; each bridge pier is a tower to the sky, extending from hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters below the sea.
In particular, the piers of the cable bridge must be built on solid rock and require 5x20 columns to support it. It is like a millipede rooted on the seabed.
In the surrounding sea water, there are masters in the transformation stage holding mountain whips and moving the surrounding undersea hills.
The efficiency of catching mountain whips is very low, and the efficiency at the bottom of the sea is even lower. However, Dayang Group has many magic weapons and masters of transforming gods.
Every time the mountain whip is used, the position of the mountain root will fluctuate a little and the mountain peak will move forward like skating on the ice.
Mountain Whip is actually a super, earth-attribute magic weapon. Of course, it will assist water-attribute and other means.
Hills of various sizes were driven to both sides of the bridge to suppress the ground and provide stronger support and a stable base for the crazy continental bridge project.
After the construction of each steel column of the bridge is completed, cement will be poured for reinforcement and rust prevention. Cement is a reinforced concrete structure and is not simply poured.
The construction cost of these bridge piers of Dayang Group is more than 200 high-grade spiritual stones; as it gets closer to the deep sea, the cost continues to increase.
Such a crazy project requires the joint efforts of experts and science and technology, and it cannot be successful without either.
The surrounding marine life, etc., naturally can run as far as it can.
As for destroying the ecology, etc., that is impossible. The vitality of this world is very tenacious. The bridge pier behind the Ocean Group that has just been built for more than ten days has already been attached to a large number of marine life, and there are already various marine life forms.
Settled.
The aircraft carrier formation slowly sailed past the construction site of the mainland bridge and gradually faded away.
But the workers on the bridge and the soldiers on the aircraft carrier waved. When passing by the bridge, people on the bridge and under the bridge even threw small gifts to each other.
Many outsiders on the ship looked at everything in front of them with envy.
This is Dayang Group, a positive, crazy group that dares to challenge.
Continental bridge, circumnavigation, surface aircraft carrier, air and space carrier... one after another crazy moves, technologies, and projects were carried out under the leadership of Dayang Group.
As the aircraft carrier gradually moved away, Hu Xiao couldn't help but ask the people next to him: "How much black steel does such a land bridge consume?"
Next to him, Feng Zhiling from Xuanzhen Sect stared at the sea in a daze, and said quietly: "Roughly estimated, according to the data published by Dayang Group, the average depth of the sea is 380 meters, the bridge deck is 30 meters away from the water, and a bridge pier
The length is roughly estimated to be 410 meters.
Each pier is made up of at least 15 semi-solid steel columns with a diameter of 5 meters. One pier requires about 60,000 cubic meters of black steel.
The distance between each pier is about 75 meters, and 13.3 piers are needed for one kilometer. The sea surface part of the entire project is 14,000 kilometers, which requires 186,200 piers. Considering the actual situation, the number of piers should be around 190,000.
190,000 bridge piers require 11.4 billion cubic meters of black steel. The density of black steel is 7.85, which is 89.5 billion tons!
If we follow the traditional iron ore production efficiency, a large workshop can produce 5 tons of crude iron a day, and only counting crude iron, 89.5 billion tons will take 17.9 billion days and 49 million years to complete!
The above figures can only be regarded as theoretical figures. They are greatly different from reality. According to my understanding of the project, Dayang Group must prepare at least 100 billion tons of black steel!
Coupled with the pouring of reinforced concrete, approach bridges, etc., the amount of black steel used in the entire project may be even higher."
Everyone:......
If you only look at some things on the surface, you will certainly feel shocked; but if you dig deeper, you will find the disappointing results!
This result left countless people dumbfounded and at the same time deeply felt their inferiority complex. Is there really any hope to compete with such a Dayang Group?
For example, the representatives from the Ming Dynasty who followed this time turned around and looked at the mainland bridge gradually hidden in the sea fog, feeling a little distracted.
At least 100 billion tons of black steel, what is this concept?
In the Ming Dynasty, the total population was only 50 billion, with an average of two tons of black iron per capita!
Based on a large mine with 1 billion tons of ore and an average iron content of 40%, this would require hollowing out 40 large mines. This is almost all the proven iron ore mines in Qixia Kingdom! It is also Ming Dynasty.
Dynasty is currently developing all large mines.
Although this is only black steel, processed from ordinary black iron, rather than black iron or spiritual materials, such crazy output is still shocking.
Now everyone has a certain understanding: the production of iron is directly related to the comprehensive strength of a country/holy land.
Although cultivators use many spiritual materials, the bulk of them are still black iron and steel. Steel is processed from black iron, and black iron is refined from black iron.
The production of black iron is the foundation of a large power!
Today's industrial development, social progress, war, and spiritual practice, none of them lack "iron"!
The aircraft carrier formation continued to move forward, but I don't know how many people were distracted by a land bridge.
They had also seen the mainland bridge project on land before, but the one on land really couldn't compare with the one on the sea.
Over the years, Dayang Group has built countless bridges, and the ones on land are no longer unusual. But this is the first time such a crazy cross-sea bridge has been built.
It wasn't until half a day later that everyone slowly came to their senses and started whispering to each other.
Don't believe it?
Maybe a little.
But seeing that crazy project, everyone had to accept the fact that this is the Dayang Group. Even though its core area is less than 150,000 square kilometers (now the Nanyang area is also developed), it has completely destroyed countless big countries and holy places.
.
Hu Xiao pondered for a long time and asked Feng Zhiling next to him: "Since Dayang Group can build such a huge project, why is the aircraft carrier's displacement only 170,000 tons?"
"Only... 170,000 tons?" Feng Zhiling looked at Huxiao sideways and chuckled, "General, right? Let's wait until you have established an industrial system before you say this.
If we just build big ships, now many countries and holy places can do it. We can build ships with a displacement of several million. But, they can’t move!
As for this steel battleship, Dayang Group built the Arctic Ocean class ten years ago, which has a displacement of more than 30,000 tons.
But the rest of the countries, the Holy Land, are still worried about the 20,000-ton warship.
There is a saying from Dayang Group that we cannot produce the current supersonic aircraft even if we show the drawings in front of us. The technical gap is too big!
We are not convinced, but we have to be convinced!
The blueprints of Dayang Group’s Arctic-class battleships are on sale to the public. But we have to hire professionals from Dayang Group to even look at the blueprints.
Someone puts the drawings in front of us, and we can’t even understand the drawings, let alone production.”
General Huxiao stopped talking because he thought of the drawings he had seen. He had seen the design drawings of the mainland bridge and saw part of it, but he only felt dazzled.
He has also seen the design drawings of the car, which is even more confusing from the perspective of a non-professional.
He also saw the design drawings of the internal combustion engine, but he just thought it was a mess.
At this time, Feng Zhiling was still saying slowly: "Ocean Group's cars are probably all independent and relatively simple in the high-tech system. But a complete technical drawing of the car still has a box, almost
Drawings for three hundred kilograms.
The design drawings of a steel battleship weighed three tons.
As for the supersonic fighter jet, we have not seen it. But according to Hua Baixiang, the design drawing of the fighter jet weighs 36 tons, and the mass of a fighter jet, not counting fuel, is only 34 tons.
The drawings are heavier than the products.”
Hu Xiao didn't understand much because he hadn't formally come into contact with the field of industrial technology. To him, these numbers were a bit like a bible.
But at least the general understands: a civilized world is a civilized world after all, and if the Japanese want to gain a foothold in this world, they are too far behind.
No wonder the Ocean Group and the civilized world did not regard the Japanese and Yue tribes as the same kind. The difference is really huge.
General Hu Xiao was lost in thought, but he didn't see the resentment in Feng Zhiling's eyes next to him:
Ten years ago, he and Zhang Hao were brothers, but ten years later he did not dare to stand in front of Zhang Hao.
Although Zhang Hao was still enthusiastic about him, when he boarded the ship this time, Feng Zhiling boarded the ship quietly and did not dare to meet Zhang Hao.
He and Zhang Hao used to be equals, but now even the headmaster doesn't dare to lose his temper in front of Zhang Hao.
And Zhao Yuhang, whom he had never heard of before, has now become the commander of the fleet, and he also needs to look up to him.
Feeling that his cultivation was only in the middle stage of becoming a god, Feng Zhiling sighed quietly. He and Zhang Hao... were no longer in the same world!
The aircraft carrier formation gradually moved away, and the fleet moved towards Sanxian Island, where it would complete a replenishment mission, then arrive at Mutu Continent, and go south along the route of the previous two explorations.
